OBJECTIVES  

   Describe  a  logic  model    

   Understand  the  value  of  a  logic  model  in  a  grant  application  

   Identify  the  key  components  of  a  logic  model  

   Examine  examples  of  logic  models  

   Be  able  to  develop  a  logic  model

LOGIC  MODELS  

  Developed  in  evaluation  science  

  Grounded  in  theory  of  change  –  does  a  program  work??  

  Core  of  planning  and  evaluation  

  Provides  a  common  framework

LOGIC  MODELS  

  A  ONE  page  summary  of  a  program  in  words  and  graphics  

  Describes  the  sequence  of  activities  thought  to  bring  about  change  

  Demonstrates  how  program  activities  are  linked  to  anticipated  program  results

LOGIC  MODELS  –  COMPONENTS  

  INPUTS:    resources,  contributions,  investments  into  program  

  OUTPUTS:  activities,  services,  events  

  OUTCOMES:    results  or  changes  for  individuals  to  systems  

  ASSUMPTIONS:  the  beliefs  we  have  about  the  program,  underlying  theories  

  EXTERNAL  FACTORS:    the  environment  in  which  the  program  exists

Situation: Individuals with limited knowledge and skills in basic financial management are unable to meet their financial goals and manage money to meet their needs.

INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES

Extension invests time and resources

We conduct a variety of educational activities targeted to individuals who participate

Participants gain knowledge, change practices and have improved financial well-being

WHAT WE INVEST WHAT WE DO WHAT RESULTS

Example: Financial management program

LOGIC  MODELS  –  FLEXIBLE  TOOLS  

  There  is  no  “BEST”  design  

  Context-­‐dependent  for  best  choice  of  content  to  include  and  arrangement  of  that  content  

  Try  several  on  for  size

LOGIC  MODELS  IN  GRANT  PROPOSALS  

  Sometimes,  but  not  always  required  

   If  required,  structure/required  elements  will  be  described  in  the  RFP  

   If  not  required,  consider  including  one      Why?    Gets  investigative  team  /  partners  on  same  page    Easy  way  to  communicate  to  a  program  officer  what  you  are  thinking  to  see  if  your  proposal  is  a  good  fit  with  the  funding  agency  

  Makes  grant  writing  much  easier    Helps  reviewers  understand  your  proposed  project

LOGIC  MODELS  -­‐  TIPS  

  Focus  on  cause  and  effect  relationships    Visually  linking  steps  of  your  work  –  creating  a  path  to  solve  the  problem  or  answer  the  questions  

  KEEP  IT  SIMPLE  –  Clarity  over  confusion!    Include  only  information  directly  related  to  theory  of  change    Detail  is  elsewhere  in  your  proposal    Visually  pleasing        don’t  go  crazy  with  graphics,      align  info  horizontally  when  possible

LOGIC  MODELS  –  WHERE  TO  BEGIN?  

  Depends  on  how  you  think,  how  you  are  approaching  your  project,  why  you  are  creating  the  logic  model  

  IDEALLY:    Consider  needs  assessment  /  situational  analysis    Fit  with  mission  /  vision  /  priorities  /  capability  /  theory
